Low-Maintenance Luxury Backyard

Our Past Projects



This full backyard design + build created a low-maintenance outdoor living space with three custom paver patios—for a hot tub, dining, and fire pit—connected by natural stone steps and surrounded by crisp paver beds and lush hydroseeded lawn. The natural stone fire pit, hooked up to the home's gas line, lights with the flick of a switch—perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Built with both style and function in mind, this space came together in just a few weeks.
